Time-series spectral dataset for croplands in France (2006-2017).

Decadal time-series derived from satellite observations are useful for discriminating crops and identifying crop succession at national and regional scales. However, use of these data for crop modeling is challenged by the presence of mixed pixels due to the coarse spatial resolution of these data, which influences model accuracy, and the scarcity of field data over the decadal period necessary to calibrate and validate the model. For this data article, cloud-free satellite "Vegetation Indices 16-Day Global 250 m" Terra (MOD13Q1) and Aqua (MYD13Q1) products derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), as well as the Land Parcel Information System (LPIS) vector field data, were collected throughout France for the 12-year period from 2006 to the end of 2017.

Kidney transplant with multiple renal artery grafts from deceased donors: are long-term graft and patient survival compromised?

Background: Kidneys with multiple arteries are often transplanted. However, the long-term outcome of such kidneys recovered exclusively from deceased donors is not clear.

Objective: To determine whether use of renal grafts with multiple arteries affects long-term graft survival and function.

'Burned-out' primary testicular cancer.

Objective: To report the natural history of 'burned-out' testicular tumour (a testicular tumour that has regressed spontaneously with no treatment and that generally presents at the stage of metastases).

Patients And Methods: We report five cases of burned-out testicular tumours to illustrate the clinical, radiological and histopathological features, and discuss the hypothesis of natural history of these neoplasms.

Results: The findings in the five patients tended to indicate that metastatic progression appears to induce spontaneous regression of the previous tumour site.

Impact of different combined preservation modalities on warm ischemic kidneys: effect on oxidative stress, hydrostatic perfusion characteristics and tissue damage.

Hemodynamic disorders in brain dead organ donors induce hypoxia, warm ischemia and finally tissue damage. A cold preservation period also induces tissue and cellular lesions. The two major modes of preservation are cold storage (CS) and hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (HPP).
